[Seouling] Han Riverside Park (한강공원)

Nice Weather!
Recently, the weather is so beautiful in Seoul. I met my friend near Shinsa Station by Line 3, the orange line, and then walked through Garosoo-gilI(가로수 길) to get to Han Riverside Park(한강공원). I'm sorry that I didn't take any picture of Garosoo-gil. As it is quite popular street for young people, I think I would get another chance to introduce Garosoo-gil


Han-gang (한강, Han River)
Han River is flowing through the middle of Seoul. It divides Seoul to the south and the north.
This is the map of Seoul. You can see the river in the middle of Seoul. Every district has its own name, but many people call the southern as Gangnam (which means the south of the river), and the northern as Gangbuk (which means the north of the river).




Han Riverside Park (or just Hangang Park)


A variety of parks are located along the river. However where I visited today is near Apgujeong(압구정), the southern part of the river. So I could see N Seoul Tower over the river. I took a few pictures, and they are good because of the nice weather. I'd like to share them.


As I didn't bring my zoom lense, so I couldn't take a better picture of N Seoul Tower. But I still believe this picture can show you how clear the weather was.

 Lots of kids and parents were flying their kites! It looked so pretty with the blue sky.


Can you see the cloud which seems like a bird flying? So I draw a bird to explain. I know my drawing is not good with the mouse. It was hard to make my friend find the birds among the cloud, but I was so happy it did work.





How about taking a rest at the park, rather than visiting the popular street for shopping? I haven't been often to the park, but I found it is so nice place to take a detour during a relexing day.

  1. Hello Polchak,

    First time here and love reading your blog post. I love everything about Korea. I've been there twice and looking forward to my third trip but unfortunately I couldnt find any time and money yet. I can say that many Koreans are very friendly and helpful. Was really grateful that we received lots of help while my friends and I were there. I am now currently taking Korean classes. Do keep posting on exciting places, food and shopping (I Love Korean Fashion!) in Korea. It might help those who want to travel there. All the best and keep up the good work! =)
